Mississippi mud pie is a chocolate-based dessert pie that possibly originated in the US state of Mississippi. The treat contains a gooey chocolate filling on top of a crumbly chocolate crust. The pie is usually served with ice cream. While Mississippi mud pie was originally associated with Southern United States cuisine, the dish has gained somewhat of an international reputation, owing in large part to the sheer amount of chocolate in each serving.

The exact origin of Mississippi mud pie is uncertain; it may or may not come from the state of Mississippi, or from states on the Mississippi River.

Mississippi mud cake is mentioned earliest in the Port Arthur News (Texas}, June 25, 1967 (the citation is available on Newspaperarchive.com). The recipe (an icing recipe followed) is:

Mix:
One-third cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
Pinch of salt
Add:
2 sticks margarine, melted
4 eggs beaten
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
Pour into greased (3x7 1/2-inch) pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30

minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Pull from oven and put a layer of miniature marshmallows over top. Put back

in oven until marshmallows toast. Take out cake and cool.
